The Pitt McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine operates under three main pillars of research – Medical Devices and Artificial Organs, Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials, and Cellular Therapies – with a commitment to rapid Clinical Translation.
Artificial organs can sustain patients during their long wait for donor organs and sometimes eliminate the need for transplantation altogether.
We can coax cells to grow into just the right kind of tissue to heal an injury or cure a disease.
Made of cells and synthetics, tailor-made materials from the lab can replace injured or diseased tissues.
It's not enough to make discoveries in the lab; we help transform them into cures.
